I wonder is Ms Eerie Agte and her sidekick Maier would consider
this to be answering their prayers?
Kimberly O'Rourke is an environmental scientist educated at SUNY
Brockport NY and with a degree. I doubt anyone could find fault
here, unless you are in the STCC group.
See Lizzie, the CC had the folks you were calling for all along,
you just didn't look, or even want to! After all, they didn't
sing the same tune as you, did they?
One has to look at all these folks working for the canal
corporation people who have been belittled, scorned and
generally made out to be the bad guys, by Agte, Maier and a few
others in the STCC. Disgraceful!

Let's not bring up individuals by name please. After all we all
know what they say... "it takes a Community to raise a Dam
Denialist".
And it really doesn't matter that some social media group
opposes canal maintenance, now that the NYS canal Corporation
has decided to move "full speed ahead" on their Public Safety
improvement effort on "canal infrastructure".
I do believe we are seeing a change in the workforce dynamic at
the NYS Canal Corporation. After being forced over past years,
by prior ownerships, to "sit on their hands about canal safety",
the Canal Corp employees are finally able to do their jobs WITH
the wholesale support of their new management, New York Power
Authority (NYPA).
NYPA is the first leadership to recogize the inherent danger of
not doing proper inspections of the canal's embankments, and
also the issues that might be raised trying to hide that danger
from the public, the way past Canal Systems owners have done.
You see the change with communication across all social media
platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
You see the workforce talent being highlighted, maybe for the
first time in NYS Canals, and new ideas for canal use are being
created.
You see the new change when you talk to Canal Employees, in the
office or on the Empire Trail. They are busy, and for the first
time in a long time, excited about a brighter future.
And you also see a few canal corporation "old timers" leaving,
maybe the NYSCC is losing some talent, but maybe just losing
some "deadwood & anchors" to overall progress.
Time will tell...
